It's National Poetry Month, Diamond Miners! People all over the United States are celebrating poetry, poems and poets in April--and as you know, your teacher is a huge poetry fan!
I thought we could do something special this month as a class, so I invented a little project. We're going to write a poem together this month, 2 words by 2 words.
Each day one of us will get a turn to add two words, and we'll go around the class twice so that our poem will have (2 words x 15 people) x 2 turns = _____ words in all. Can you solve that?
I took the first turn on Sunday, April 1st, so we have some catching up to do...I hope you're ready!
love, Ms. Mordhorst
